Trump Ends Support for Marjorie Taylor Greene Amid Feud Over Epstein Files

Credited from: REUTERS

  • Trump cites “far left” actions as reason for withdrawing endorsement of Greene.
  • Greene claims Trump’s rhetoric has incited threats against her safety.
  • The feud escalates with Greene criticizing Trump’s focus on foreign affairs.

President Donald Trump has officially withdrawn his support for Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, stating, “I am withdrawing my support and endorsement” via a post on Truth Social. This marks a significant shift considering that Greene has been a prominent supporter of Trump's MAGA agenda, recently sporting the signature red cap during key events, including President Biden’s 2024 State of the Union address, according to Reuters and HuffPost.

In his posting, Trump characterizes Greene as “wacky” and accuses her of incessantly complaining, claiming she has deviated from conservative principles. His post reportedly reflects frustration over her recent dissent against the Republican leadership, particularly during the federal government shutdown where she criticized the lack of a plan for those losing health insurance benefits, according to Al Jazeera and Los Angeles Times.

In the wake of Trump's withdrawal, Greene responded by accusing him of lying and has emphasized that his attacks fuel threats against her, stating, “Aggressive rhetoric attacking me has historically led to death threats.” She indicated that she has received warnings from private security firms regarding her safety, linking Trump's rhetoric to an uptick in hostile communications she has faced, as reported by Reuters and South China Morning Post.

The escalating feud centers on Greene's commentary about Trump’s policies concerning foreign leaders and the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. Greene recently questioned Trump's priorities, suggesting he should focus more on domestic issues like the high cost of living rather than international relations. Trump's response has included labeling her as someone who has “betrayed” the Republican Party, and he hinted at the possibility of a primary challenger to Greene in the upcoming elections, according to ABC News and Bloomberg.

As their conflict evolves, both Trump and Greene appear to have drawn lines reflecting deeper ideological divides within the Republican Party, as Greene has been increasingly vocal about her positions that diverge from traditional MAGA narratives, leading to her alienation from Trump and his supporters, according to HuffPost and Los Angeles Times.
